More crazy news in this crazy Trump's America. And to help us decipher it is the absolute wonder Katie Fang.
- [00:45]
Katie Fang
Katie the Crazy whisperer.
- [00:47]
Commentator
Yeah, no, you're helping us as you're saying you're one of the sane ones. Okay. The very first clip I want to ask you about is Trump sued CBS because they edited Kamala Harris's interview and they paid it because, number one, they were trying to get Paramount was trying to be bought out or do a merger and they thought Trump would block it. So basically they suck. But let me play you what they've done on Fox editing Donald Trump about Epstein, and I want to get your feedback on it.
- [01:19]
Katie Fang
Sure. If you were president, would you declassify. You can answer yes or no to this. Would you declassify the 911 files?
- [01:27]
Donald Trump
Yeah.
- [01:27]
Katie Fang
Would you declassify JFK files?
- [01:29]
Donald Trump
Yeah, I did. I did a lot of it.
- [01:31]
Katie Fang
Would you declassify the Epstein files?
- [01:34]
Donald Trump
Yeah, Yeah, I would.
- [01:36]
Katie Fang
All right.
- [01:36]
Donald Trump
I guess I would. I think that less so because, you know, you don't know, you don't want to affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there because it's a lot of phony stuff with that whole world. But I think I would.
- [01:48]
Katie Fang
Or at least do you think that would restore trust? Help restore trust?
- [01:51]
Commentator
Yeah.
- [01:51]
Donald Trump
I don't know about Epstein so much as I do the others, certainly about the way he died. It would be interesting to find out what happened there because that was a weird situation and the cameras didn't happen to be working, et cetera, et cetera, but yet go a long way toward that one. The other stuff I would.
- [02:06]
Commentator
So what do you think about that?
- [02:08]
Katie Fang
Okay, so I have to remind everybody that CBS got sued, as you said, and they had filed a motion to dismiss before the Trump administration kicked in. Right. And then the next thing you know is they're settling for $16 million with the Trump administration because of that merger with Skydance. Okay, fine. But to your point, the allegations from Trump was that that Kamala Harris Interview was deceptively edited. But the reality is this is what 60 Minutes did. They played a portion on one show on cbs, and then later on that day, they played the rest of the interview. So there was no editing that happened. It literally was push play, hit pause, Push play, hit pause. What we just saw right now is 100% guilt by omission. And if you noticed Trump immediately, quickly on JFK and everything else was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. But when it came to Epstein, well, let me hem and let me ha. But if you also listen to what he said, even he says there was something suspicious about Epstein's death and he was relying upon the videos that, according to Pam Bondi, are impeccable and haven't been manipulated in any way. So why wouldn't somebody be suing the shit out of Fox News now saying deceptive editing? Because of what it is. And footnote, that lady I can't get over, she was the road rules lady. Was she the road rules from MTV or was she the freaking Real World lady? She's married. She's married to Sean Transportation. Yeah.
- [03:31]
Commentator
Yes.
- [03:31]
Katie Fang
Get me started with those two. But anyway, go ahead.
- [03:33]
Commentator
Well, I just. What I find interesting about the whole thing is he's like, well, I mean, there might be stuff in there that's not true. I mean, he's already prepping people that he might be in there or that his, you know, close advisors or donors are in there. So then it takes me back to why didn't you just redacted instead now magus at his throats. But here's the thing, Fox News, I read yesterday that, you know, all this Epstein stuff is breaking. MAGA is melting down like on fire. Fox News, I think it was at 5:45 they said Biden 90 times and never once referenced Epstein. So I'm just like, part of me has no sympathy for the Fox News watcher. But they. When you say they truly have no idea what's going on, they really don't. I'm not giving them a pass. But Fox News is over there, just straight up propaganda.
- [04:31]
Katie Fang
Yeah. And it's a crazy ecosystem in the Fox News land. Right. Because they only put out and pedal the propaganda that their dear furor is telling them to have. Right? So he may not have his paws on a day in, day out basis in terms of content, but there's a reason why you hear Biden's name 90 times. You don't hear Jeffrey Epstein's name vis a vis Donald Trump, which is ironically the reason to celebrate you, me and others in independent media. Because, look, we're not mincing words when it comes to the release and the call for transparencies of the Epstein stuff. And politics makes weird, weird bedfellows. Well, that was a little too much. But politics can do some weird things. And listen, we are aligning ourselves with some crazy people right now, like Laura Loomer and Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly, who went to town at the Turning Point USA conference and made sure it was clear that even she was saying, you know, this is dumb. Like, this makes you look really bad when you spend all of this energy calling for the release of these files and now that you have them in your care, custody, and control and you don't do it. So, again, we're aligning ourselves right now with weird people. But, you know, the funny thing is the pursuit of truth shouldn't be partisan. And in this instance, if you're looking for the truth to come out, you should be able to access the truth. And because this is the federal freaking government, we're not talking about some private industry which can gatekeep what it wants. This is a federal prosecution of a pedophile that was accused of a sex trafficking ring of young girls. And, you know, I also want to say, may she rest in peace. Virginia Joffrey, you know, she's dead now, and she was one of the few people that had the, the courage to stand up. And so there are people that were destroyed by this man. And even Trump is sitting there saying, there's a question mark in the way that this man died. So why not let people make decisions on their own, hopefully using critical thinking skills, but based upon the facts and the evidence.
- [06:27]
Commentator
I completely agree. And interesting bedfellows. Laura Loomer, she's been, I mean, up front talking about it. So today she joins calls for a special counsel to handle the Epstein files. Now, this is a sticky situation for Trump and Pam Bondi. What do you think about a special counsel on the Epstein matter?
- [06:48]
Katie Fang
I mean, do we even need to go that far? I don't think so. I think at this point, why. So special counsel can get pressured by Trump to not release anything? I mean, why not just release things in a redacted form that protects the victims and the identities of those that are the vulnerable and just make sure the rest of it is out. Again, contemplating things that we shouldn't be seeing that are criminal in nature? But when you've lost Laura Loomer. Right.
- [07:14]
Commentator
Yeah, it's bad.
- [07:15]
Katie Fang
That's some bad.
- [07:16]
Commentator
And I keep telling, you know, saying on this channel like, we can get 27 different AGs appointed. They're never going to release the files because Trump is in the files and maybe his other cohorts. But we know for a fact he's on the flight logs. We know for a fact he was leaving messages. So, like, Pam Bondi is the scapegoat, but I don't think Trump's going to fire because she's doing what he asks.
- [07:40]
Katie Fang
No. And the reporting as of today is Trump has picked Bondi side on this. And that's why Dan Bingo Boingo Bongino has refused to go back to his job that we are paying for as taxpayers for him to do. Here's the thing. I'm so glad you bring up attorneys general. You know, Pam Bondi was the Florida Attorney General during all of this stuff and that there were Alex Acosta, who was the interim U.S. attorney, who was like, I think he was like the Labor Secretary or something like that during the first term. Like, he had his fingerprints on this too. Like there are all of these people. This has been going on for decades. And that's what's wild, is that this has been Illinois for so long. And ostensibly, other than Ghislaine Maxwell, who's currently appealing her conviction and sentence to the United States Supreme Court, which the Department of Justice just filed its reply yesterday objecting to her conviction in sentencing being set aside. So now the DOJ has put itself squarely at legal odds against Ghislaine Maxwell. So there's nothing technically stopping her from speaking. Which is why I've always said when all of this happened, she should be in protective custody to make sure that she's going to be okay. Because that weird skip in the video and Bondi's bullshit lame excuse that every single video had this because it was switching over at that time. That's not what Donald Trump says. Donald Trump says something totally different.

And, you know, the Justice Department had gotten two extensions about, you know, filing a response. So my question was, were they just going to let that slide? And then now with all the heat, they realize they can't let it slide. But, you know, I don't know. That's pure speculation on my part. But one thing I found interesting is Pam Bondi, through all this, has fired her personal ethics advisor, a career attorney who'd spent 20 years at the Department, removing the Justice Department's top official for counseling the most significant senior appointees. And my question is, does she think she has ethics if she just fires the Ethics Department person? I mean, this is. This is nuts. I mean, the Pam Bondi thing, it's nuts.
- [11:09]
Katie Fang
So I actually covered this story on my YouTube channel yesterday because I was so outraged this happened on Friday. At the end of the day, this guy, Joseph Terrell, who was the personal ethics watchdog at the Department of justice for, like, 20 freaking years.
- [11:25]
Commentator
So not partisan.
- [11:27]
Katie Fang
Not partisan. Which is why I was like, look, if you know somebody who's been working that long and they've been a Republican and Democratic administrations, you know, they're probably doing something right, especially in that space. So it wasn't just his job that was at issue. He actually oversaw staff people that were also giving ethics advice to federal agencies and employees. So he gets a letter on Friday via email that just says, your job's over. Bye. Thanks for your federal service. I don't even think he said thank you. And he ended up posting on LinkedIn. LinkedIn's a crazy place, by the way. Like, I feel like we should go to LinkedIn and just, like, troll it. So he posted on LinkedIn a copy of the letter he got from Bondi. And he then said, listen, the arc of justice, you know, is going to lean towards, you know, justice here. Like, he was like, look, I am not going to be silent about what has happened to me. But putting that aside, you know, they have eliminated inspectors general, and they took the guy who used to be the DOJ watchdog, Michael Horowitz, and moved into the Federal Reserve, of all places. So there's really no oversight over the doj and Those are the people that need oversight the most. They're the ones that are politicizing and weaponizing the federal government to do criminal investigations of political opponents and perceived enemies of Trump and this administration. If there was any place that needed handholding and an adult, it's the doj. And now I say it's the criminals running the jail because they got rid of the wardens and any of the officers.
- [12:54]
Commentator
Absolutely. And Cash Patel, I mean, he is just been a hanger on for Trump for years and years and years. And then Pam Bondi didn't she. Wasn't she in charge of the Trump University where she dismissed it on behalf of the state of Florida? So, I mean, she's been in his pocket for years. But it's just, it's so unbelievable to me that people that are civil servants that have been in their jobs forever, that are supposed to help with oversight, they get rid of them so they can just trample over it. And again, Congress isn't doing anything. They don't even want to hear on the Epstein files. You know, Elon Musk goes into the federal government. They don't want to hear anything about it. And I just, I look at this and think, if we are able to have the midterms and the Democrats do get in power, is, are the laws going to be held to account through Congress? Are they going to start bringing these people in and questioning them? This ethics advisor, why were you fired? Can he come in and testify about that?
- [13:57]
Katie Fang
Well, he can whistleblow. We've seen whistleblowers step forward at the DOJ, a man named Mr. Rio Vanni, he's the guy who was the immigration DOJ lawyer for 15 years that worked in the first Trump term and actually defended the Trump policies back then. Muslim ban, child separation, et cetera. But when he was pressured by Emile Beauvais and other supervisors at the doj, he said, I can't do this anymore. Especially because a federal judge, James Boasberg in D.C. was saying, wait, wait, you cannot deplane and disembark these people in El Salvador. You have to bring them back. So we have people that have the courage to step up and say something when it's important. And there should be whistleblower protections that are true and that are affording the protections that are necessary for people to be able to come forward and tell the truth, especially in administration like this. But I want to remind you, too, these are all rewards, these cabinet positions and other type of heads of agencies. Pam Bondi was an election denier. She was a part of the Trump legal team that fought back, saying that the election was stolen. So any of these, you know, in freaking cash. Patel is another stage five clinger like Laura Loomer and others. And so they're all being rewarded for their loyalty. I think loyalty is a great thing, but you cannot use loyalty in replacement for democracy. Right. So I don't. I mean, listen, you want to give somebody some kush ambassadorship a la Kimberly Guilfoyle? I guess I feel badly for Greece, but other than something like that, which, by the way, a lot of other administrations did. So I'm not bullshitting anybody, but you're not giving them Department of Defense, Secretary of State, Department of Justice. And let's not forget Todd Blanche. He's involved in all of this, too. He's a deputy AG and now he's running interference for Pam bonding at the DoJ when it comes to Epstein stuff, too. So they're all thick as th. They're literally the walking definition of thickest thieves.
- [15:46]
Commentator
Well, and corruption just on a scale that I don't think we've ever seen in the United States. I really don't. I mean, you know, just start with the crypto and work your way down. I mean, it's just awful. So, Katie, thank you so much for joining us. It's been so much fun. And please like this video and subscribe to our channel.
